you say already as if we deserve to have them first. by the time halo lights came out, our cars were no longer the current model. i'd doubt they ever make them for us at all.

I think is because us 4th gen owners are too cheap and always complaint about quality, price, looks, etc.........
I've seen some of the 5th gen posts and they always like to try new stuff, the way they are going, they will have the most mods out of all gens

i emailed the company that makes those for the 5th gens (the real ones). and they said that making angel eyes for the 4th gen would require a completely new headlight, and if they do decide to do it it will be next year. right now they are still trying to figure out if it would be a good idea.. maybe if we make a hugelist of people that will buy a set they will start some production. just a thought...i knwo i would love angel eyes on my Regina Maxine...

what all the hype, a lot of us alreadyhave HIDS that cant be retro fitted into those housings anyway. Plus all those hondas have them. Do you really wanna be that guy with the chrome rims more expensive than his car. Altezas suck too.

ok we have hid's but no projecttors. out housings are ot made for hid's. halo's look awsomen on any car if it on there right. i do not have m bumpers or anything but yets i do like BMW headlgith and i woudl love to have a halo. nothing wrong with that. just like sjyline bumpers no onehere has a skyline we all have maxes. if they look tight why not?

i knwo all 5th gens are newer, but i think people mid 4th gens alot more, and i thkn the since they will becomming cheaper thatmore of them will show up modded( ricer or not). They still make new products for 1990 civics. i think once there are some parts out for us other will come. i already know procarparts.com is making healdights for us i saw them in a catalog. they are just ae headlights with clear lenses.

Id pay that price easy if they made them for 4th gens, the company made them for fifth gen because it seems easyier.

Email the guy who sells them and find out the company and maybe we can get these made!

You know... Custom Enterprise (Custom Maxima) said that they were going to make Angel Eyes. They never specified what gen though. They say they're redoing there website and are adding about 50 new products. Maybe 4th Gen Angels will be there?... It has been a while since they announced that they would make Angel Headlights....

Who knows... I don't care if I'm seen as a BMW Pretender. I want Angel Eyes! heh.

Then again, I do agree with people who say the Maxima should create it's own legacy. I mean... People mod their Maxes (and Civics.... yuck!) to have Skyline tail lights. They're living vicariously through the Skyline legacy... Maxima needs to create it's own legacy so that one day... People will rip IT off!

Of course they are going to do it for the more "recent" model. The car costs more to buy in the first place, so the person doing the buying probably has more money to spend. There will be more of them on the road for a longer time. Older models start to die out. High miles, etc. Plus, yes, the current 5th gen lights were probably easier to make a good looking/working product.

yeah well, if someone would actually want to make these...90% of you would say....
"if it's under $150, i'm in" - IMPOSSIBLE. . . .
everyone wants something but when there is someone that can actually make it happen, most of you are cheap and start complaining...
just from reading the 95/96 red/clears thread in the GD forum made me laugh....

cars are old, you guys are cheap, it's never gonna happen

I am actually with you on this one, DoGGy. I mean, I don't really think the projector style lights look too good on 4th gens. Just like I don't think that Altezza's look good on the back. Our cars were built for having rectangular tails and headlights. It just goes with the body shape better. A lot of things on the 5th gen are more "round" so it looks good to have the "round" projectors in the headlights. I like the way our cars look stock for the headlights, or at least the cefiro look with one-piece. Just my .02

If they ever made these for the 4th I would swap out the projector with a higher quality one like a Hella, or Valeo projector, paint the housings black, and take that the stupid halo.

just throwing this out there because I don't know enough about it, but....

could projector housings be made from carbon fiber? would CF withstand whatever heat is generated by the lights?

I bring this up because our buddy ionicmax is a great person to work with, and makes a bunch of carbon fiber parts.

any thoughts?
